Madonna’s brother, Christopher Ciccone, has died. He was 63.
Christopher passed away of cancer on Friday in Michigan, his rep confirmed to TMZ.
The Post has reached out to Madonna and Christopher’s reps for comment.
Christopher’s death comes less than two weeks after the passing of his and Madonna’s stepmother, Joan Clare Ciccone, from cancer. One of their brothers, Anthony Ciccone, died in Feb. 2023.
Christopher was an artist, interior decorate and designer. He served as the art director on Madonna’s Blond Ambition World Tour in 1990 and was the tour director for her The Girlie Show in 1993.
He also directed music videos for Dolly Parton, and Tony Bennett in the 1990s.
The brother-sister duo had a falling out which Christopher wrote about in his 2008 tell-all book, “Life With My Sister Madonna,” which became a New York Times bestseller.
Christopher claimed that Madonna outed him in her 1991 interview with The Advocate, where she said, “My brother Christopher’s gay, and he and I have always been the closest members of my family.”
He also accused Madonna’s ex-husband Guy Ritchie, whom she was married to from 2000 to 2008, of being homophobic.
In addition, Christopher said the “turning point” in his relationship with the Grammy Award winner was when she brought cameras to their mother’s grave for her 1991 documentary “Truth or Dare.”
“I kept it inside but I thought to myself, ‘OK, there are no boundaries now.’ You know, my mother’s now become a side — a bit player in her life, life story, and it hurt me. And I — my, my opinion of her altered at that moment. I never said anything about it,” he told “GMA” in 2008.
“I think, ultimately, she’s a lonely person and, unfortunately, it, it truly is lonely at the top,” Christoper added about his sister.
Christopher addressed his relationship with the “Vogue” singer in a 2012 interview with The Evening Standard,
“As far as I’m concerned, we’re good. We are in contact with each other, although I haven’t seen her for a long time. We’re back to being a brother and sister. I don’t work for her, and it’s better this way,” he said.
‘I couldn’t be more proud of her. She is a force to be reckoned with. Does she have Barbra Streisand’s voice? No,” Christopher also said about Madonna. “Can she dance like Martha Graham? Probably not. But the combination of her abilities has made her great, and left a huge legacy for her, and through her, for me. So yeah, God bless her.”
Christopher married British hairdresser Ray Thacker in 2016.
Madonna tragically lost her stepmother shortly before Christopher died.
“Joan Clare Ciccone passed away peacefully early in the morning of September 24th, 2024, after a brief encounter with a very aggressive cancer,” an online obituary stated. “She will be terribly missed by her family and friends whose lives she enriched with her enthusiasm, joy and love.”
Joan was married to Christopher and Madonna’s father, Silvio, for 58 years.
Their mother, also named Madonna, died in December 1963 at the age of 30.
One of Madonna’s other brothers, Anthony Ciccone, passed away from respiratory failure and throat cancer at age 66 in February 2023.
